Anyone else self teaching themselves a complex new skill?
I have been frustrated for over a year with hired help that does not take the urgency of the work seriously, or suddenly decides they should have control of my company.
I have decided that I MUST learn to do my own CAD drawings, and CNC programs.
So I have bought a couple of "How To" books and downloaded a tutorial for my particular program, Surfcam 2001.
This is an old program I got with the CNC mill, the new ones cost enough to buy a nice Ferrari or restored 59 convertible. :eek:
Spent the evening trying to make sense of it, got further than I ever have before.
Looks like it is going to be a while before I am proficient, but I will get there.
In many ways it is like learning a foreign language.
